Understand Tricare coverage
Tricare typically covers a broad spectrum of substance use disorder treatment services, giving you access to care without derailing your work or family commitments. Here’s what you should know about your benefits:
What Tricare covers
- Inpatient rehab and detox, when medically necessary [1]
- Outpatient programs, including partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment [1]
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, such as Suboxone, methadone, and naltrexone [2]
- Psychotherapy services: one-on-one, group, family, and experiential therapies like art or music therapy [1]
In-network vs out-of-network
Using an in-network provider like The Hope House often results in lower out-of-pocket costs due to negotiated rates. Going out-of-network can lead to higher copays and deductibles, sometimes totaling hundreds or even thousands of dollars per treatment episode [1].
Pre-authorization requirements
Many Tricare plans require pre-authorization for services like Suboxone treatment. We handle the paperwork on your behalf—once you approve, our team verifies your benefits so you can focus on recovery.
Explore Suboxone MAT
Suboxone is an FDA-approved medication that combines buprenorphine and naloxone to help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. When covered by your Tricare benefits, it becomes a powerful tool in your outpatient recovery journey.
Benefits of Suboxone MAT
- Reduces opioid cravings and withdrawal discomfort
- Lowers risk of relapse and overdose
- Can be prescribed in office-based settings or through Opioid Treatment Programs
- Supports you in maintaining day-to-day responsibilities
How Tricare covers Suboxone
- Generic buprenorphine-naloxone formulations are covered under the Tricare formulary
- Brand-name Suboxone may require a medical necessity justification at formulary cost share
- You’ll need prior authorization before your first prescription
Cost without insurance
A one-month supply of generic Suboxone can cost up to $200 out-of-pocket [1]. With Tricare coverage and an in-network provider, your copay is significantly lower.
MAT settings covered by Tricare
- Opioid Treatment Programs (OTP)
- Office-Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT)
- Office-based prescribing by qualified clinicians
